Tightwad Tuesday: Isabel Marant Otway Studded Ankle Boots on a Budget

Darlings, to the left, prepare to salivate over Isabel Marant’s outrageously chic and futuristic Otway Studded Ankle Boots, the very same ones that caused a stir on the Fall 2009 runways and have been seen on the tootsies of AnnaLynne McCord, Lindsay Lohan, and Sienna Miller; to the right take a peek at Alloy’s tantalizing Trinity Bootie.

While Trinity sports a faux leather strap and faux suede upper, as opposed to the real suede and leather construction of the magnificent Marant’s; for just $42.90, in comparison to the $1,295.00 asking price of their haute couture counterparts, they are the perfect way to add a little edge to your demure look du jour – and allow for the buyer to indulge in both colors…black and gray!

Is today the day for you to please the big spender within; or will you play it cool and be thrifty?

Although I do love the Isabel Marant boots just a tish more, I'd have to be thrifty and buy the Alloy shoes instead. LSU is sucking all the life (and the money) outta me. The $1,295 is almost a month's worth of work for me. Great find though. :)

I honestly can't tell the difference between them from the photos. I'm sure the Isabel Marant are made of luxurious suede, while the Alloy weigh less than a few ounces because of the material, they really do look the same to me.

The Isabelle ones look a bit more comfortable because the ankle opening is wider. It leaves more room to tuck bottoms in or to just have the loose look to them, which I love! The Alloy ones are just as cute though! :]

Oh my gosh! I just love the detailing on these boots! What a great steal. I even love the zipper on the Alloy knockoff, I totally think the Alloy's are cuter anyway and their price just makes them so much better! I will definitely be purchasing them in gray. I cannot wait to add these beautiful boots to my shoe collection.

I asked my sister what do you think about these shoes and she said they're horrible,And i told her than you don't know about fashion because honey these are beautiful.I absolutely love them.I was checking this blog and its one of my inspirations.for my blog.
